DeGale weasles out of wager with Groves

[Who are you?]

During the press conference before the fight, James DeGale made a scene and announced that he would like to wage his salary for the fight against George Groves' salary for the fight, in a winner takes both fight salaries format. Its also important to note that James DeGale is the one who brought it up at the conference, and essentially initiated the bet.



So is James DeGale going to pay Groves the money?

Sorry, I like James DeGale, nothing personal.

This behaviour is childish from DeGale. Only small, ****** children make bets then dont pay up. Not honouring a bet is extremely disrespectful and utterly obnoxious.

But when a man instigates a wager like this, and doesn't pay up when he loses. That man is a "jackass".

[Who are you?]

I like DeGale, but it is hard to respect a man who weasles out of wagers he loses fairly and refuses to pay.

This is "jackass", moron-type behaviour.

Its hard to be a fan of DeGale unless he pays the bet off.

Had Groves lost, DeGale would have demanded the money.

'I want money. Straight after the fight, I want my money'.

What a moron. He should pay up.

The bet was cancelled BEFORE the fight.

Therefore, Groves would not have paid DeGale if the result was different anyway..

[frosty-g]

Adam Booth went running to the British Boxing Board of Control straight after that press conference to ensure that the bet was not allowed to go ahead and then smugly announced it to everyone, what a tosser. but THEN he starts making wisecrack comments about it straight after the fight. what an even bigger tosser!

Didnt Groves say he would let him off at the ringside interview after the fight?

[The Surgeon]

Booth made it seem as tho team Groves let James off with the bet but BEFORE the fight thay had said it was against Board Rules and wouldnt be happening

[Prince Mongo]

DeGale comes over as Ali G. What a nob.

DeGale is a **** and that is coming from someone who likes him
